. Happy Sunday! A shabby chic creation for today's post which uses the Grand Dahlia die set. I cut two frames using the two smallest sized dies in this set, one pink, one brown. I added some mounting foam to the pink one for dimension and offset the two of them over an aperture that I cut out of my background paper. I used the Design Element stamp set to add some feathers on to the background in Victorian Velvet distress ink for interest. I used the decorative frame from that set to stamp with Victorian velvet on to milk coloured card. I stamped my sentiment in the centre. I mounted this piece behind my aperture opening. Using the aster flower topper die set, I cut six of them smallest size in milk card. I inked the edges with Vic. velvet, spritzed them with water and scrunched them up. I put a brad through the middle of each of them and scrunched a bit more to form this flower. To finish the shabby chic look, I added some crochet ribbon and tea dyed vintage ribbon as a backing for my flower. I added some stick pins and a few swirly pearlies in the opposite corner, pierced the edges to complete the card.Now for the weekly sunday Comment Game drawing. This weeks winners are:
